Colonel Maggie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Colonel Maggie is my fri[G]end
She got [E]my self respect
[A]right back for [D]me
Colonel Maggie is my [G]friend
With [E]good old motherly
[A]sweet sympath[D]y

[Verse 2]
[D]Flat down on the street with
a [G]bottle at my [D]feet
[G]Gutter life and [D]wine was all I [A]craved
Then she [D]came up to me from
the Sal[G]vation [D]Army
[G]She thought that I was [D]good
enough [A]to save

[Verse 3]
Colonel [D]Maggie is my [G]friend
[E]She tried to put some [A]pride
back into [D]me
Colonel Maggie is my [G]friend
With [E]good old motherly
[A]sweet [D]sympathy

[Verse 4]
She [D]helped me to my feet and
she got [G]me off [D]the street
I [G]was far too [D]sick to look [A]ashamed
Some [D]soup and hot tea and
a [G]blanket over [D]me
And [G]when we talked she [D]called
me by my [A]name[F#m]
[A]Colonel

[Verse 5]
[D]Maggie is my [G]friend
[E]She tried to put some [A]pride
back into [D]me
Colonel Maggie is my [G]friend
With [E]good old motherly
[A]sweet sympath[D]y

[Verse 6]
Well [D]that was years ago now
I [G]don't drink no [D]more
And [G]rest her soul,
old [D]Maggies dead [A]and gone
And [D]when my will- powers weak,
I walk [G]back to [D]that street
And [G]Colonel Maggie [D]seems
to walk [A]along

[Verse 7]
Colonel [D]Maggie is my [G]friend
[E]She tried to put some [A]pride
back into [D]me
Colonel Maggie is my [G]friend
With [E]good old motherly
[A]sweet [D]sympathy

[Verse 8]
Colonel [D]Maggie is my [G]friend
[E]She tried to put some [A]pride
back into [D]me
Colonel Maggie is my [G]friend
With [E]good old motherly sweet sympathy
